  • Hey there, people, I'm Bobby Brown
    They say I'm the cutest boy in town
    My car is fast, my teeth is shiney
    I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie
    Here I am at a famous school
    I'm dressin' sharp 'n' I'm actin' cool
    I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
    Let her do all the work 'n' maybe later I'll rape her

    Oh God I am the American dream
    I do not think I'm too extreme
    An' I'm a handsome son of a bitch
    I'm gonna get a good job 'n' be real rich

    (Get a good
    Get a good
    Get a good
    Get a good job)

    Women's Liberation
    Came creepin' across the nation
    I tell you people I was not ready
    When I f**** this d**e by the name of Freddie
    She made a little speech then,
    Aw, she tried to make me say "when"
    She had my b**** in a vice, but she left the d***
    I guess it's still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick

    Oh God I am the American dream
    But now I smell like Vaseline
    An' I'm a miserable son of a bitch
    Am I a boy or a lady, I don't know which

    (I wonder wonder
    Wonder wonder)

    So I went out 'n' bought me a leisure suit
    I jingle my change, but I'm still kinda cute
    Got a job doin' radio promo
    An' none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo
    Eventually me 'n' a friend
    Sorta drifted along into S&M
    I can take about an hour on the tower of power
    'Long as I gets a little golden shower

    Oh God I am the American dream
    With a spindle up my b*** till it makes me scream
    An' I'll do anything to get ahead
    I lay awake nights sayin', "Thank you, Fred!"
    Oh God, oh God, I'm so fantastic!
    Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic
    And my name is Bobby Brown
    Watch me now, I'm goin down,
    And my name is Bobby Brown
    Watch me now, I'm goin down, etc. Writer/s: Frank Vincent Zappa
